expressions or tems that you should not say:

Banks and other businesses are always giving away promotional "Free Gifts." Why not just Gifts? Aren't gifts always free? Since when do we have to pay for a gift? "Free Gifts" drive me nuts.

I also hate Expresso. It's Espresso. What really irks me is that if you look in our local yellow pages under Expresso, the book kindly redirects you to Espresso. If I were the editor, I'd let the fools go through caffeine withdrawal until they could locate a dictionary.

One of my favorites is "busted" as a verb for broken -- The washing machine is busted. OOOOHHHHH! That just makes me crazy

(Also, when people say Warsh instead of Wash.)

Some of the older southern women always said, "I had a wrench put in my hair today." My dad always said, "Chicargo" instead of "Chicago." His dad always called "Michigan," "Mitchigan." I love to hear them speak. Like our food, we are becoming homogenized, which in a way is sad.

One that always irritates me is:

"I could care less." I always think if you could care less, why don't you?

I prefer (and it makes more sense to me) I couldn't care less. Now I know where you stand.
